Objectives: 

• To become comfortable with managing ocular disease, whether during an annual eye exam, a walk-in problem visit, or medical follow up (ex. glaucoma testing, dry eye management)

• To become familiar with medical billing and coding (99 vs 92, special tests, I&R, modifiers, procedures etc.)

• To become proficient in managing post-op care for cataract surgeries, as that can be very helpful in collaborative care with ophthalmology
